He's probably right.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Saturday Night Live's interpretation of his press conference in the Rose Garden announcing his intention to declare a national emergency for what he calls a crisis at the southern border.

Trump accused the show of airing Republican "hit jobs" and of being the "real collusion."


Now, actor Alec Baldwin—whose skewering portrayal of Trump has been lauded by nearly everyone but Trump himself—has taken the President's tweet calling for retribution as a threat to his and his family's safety.

Many understood his concerns.

It isn't far-fetched to fear that some of the President's supporters would pursue retribution on their own, influenced by the President's rhetoric.

Trump has repeatedly called for violence and humiliation to his detractors.

In October 2018, devout Trump supporter Cesar Sayoc mailed 13 bombs to various perceived enemies of the President including Senators Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), as well as to CNN.

Trump has frequently deployed harsh rhetoric against Baldwin and SNL on Twitter.

If his rhetoric continues unmitigated, it's only a matter of time before someone listens.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
